    I prefer to take pics on a week old gel Polish to better showcase. This is OPI gel Polish in black or "den" Lol

    I've reached an all time low in my nail spa journey. I've taken up Vietnamese in order to better communicate with my nail tech (if you can't beat 'em, join em?) it was still a struggle I kno damn well Helen understood my "Xiang chao" and "tam biet" and yes I'll take "den" (black) polish. I'm trying! I'm just an ignorant American looking to connect and communicate to get my nails done properly anyway google translate made the Language barrier worse. My nails came out great though (after repeatedly asking for OPI gel in "den" or "black" like twenty million times. Maybe ThiTrang (as her name read on her displayed nail tech license) was in disbelief that someone would paint their nails all black. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Anyway. I only have two chips and that's step above chipping the next day as previous salons have failed me. I consider that a win. But docked two stars for feigning to misunderstand my terrible Vietnamese pronunciations lol

    Broken after 4 days

    Zero stars Chipped on 2 thumbs could only take picture one at a time. Daughter's chipped the next day same area and finger. Never again will I visit this shop. Also you'll see photo for broken mail after 4 days!!!!

    Two weeks later manicure doing good.

    Great Nails in Bowie is just that.... Great. Will return again really soon for mani and a paraffin pedi!

    Cuticle infection

    I have an infection in my cuticle from the salon tech cutting my cuticle too deep. This was my second time having a bad experience at this salon, I thought it could've just been a one time occurrence but unfortunately this will be my last time coming here.

    Not great job...

    Okok place. Guy acted like he was opening a new sterilized set of tools for my pedi. Had to insist on actual sterilized set. A struggle. Guy went through the motions when doing my pedi and mani... would probably recommend either Kathy or Helen when I asked a regular next to me who she usually went to. I will not come here again. I had two regulars recommend this place though... so I was surprised to see subpar work.

    Amy was awesome! Yesterday was my first time going to Great nails and I can honestly say that I won't be going anywhere else. I recently stopped getting acrylic on my nails and she actually told me how to take care of them. She recommended that I get silk wraps to protect my nails from breaking, instead of telling me that I need acrylic - like most of them do. She also wasn't stingy with the UV light when I got gel nail polish... Pleasantly surprised! I you need a professional place to get your nails done, definitely check out Great Nails :)

    If I could rate a negative review I would. The male who answers the phone and greets customers gave me a full set with dip powder. He glued the nails on crookedly and did a horrible job filing. I will never return. I was in a rush because I needed to attend a wedding. Never again. Waste of money.

    This was my second time visiting, and I'm so glad I came back. The first time, this Yelp page…read morewasn't even available yet. I needed a fill-in badly with no appointment, and even though it was a busy Saturday afternoon, the wait was only about 30 minutes. Briana at the front desk was super accommodating and helpful. My nail tech, Yunez, did an amazing job -- she's detailed, precise, and really knows how to do a clean acrylic fill. The prices are also very reasonable. My fill was only $45, which you really can't beat. I think I've officially found my new nail spot!

    The salon itself is quite pleasant, however, my nail technician, Aaliyah, I do not intend to book…read morewith her again. I found her demeanor to be rather impolite, and she was frequently using her phone throughout my service. Furthermore, if you are seeking a dipping powder service, I would advise requesting a different technician, as Aaliyah seemed to strongly encourage a gel builder instead. However, I maintained my preference, as I believe a service should always prioritize the client's wishes rather than the technician's convenience or potential upselling. Despite this experience, I do plan to return to the salon. I will, however, be much more discerning when selecting my nail technician next time. I observed other technicians who appeared very attentive and engaged with their clients, rather than being preoccupied with their phones. In summary, my one-star rating is specifically for Aaliyah's service. However, I would give the salon's overall ambiance, atmosphere, and the owners four stars. Four stars because I found the music selection to be somewhat inappropriate. I would suggest considering music with more family-friendly lyrics, particularly given the presence of younger patrons. Otherwise, I will be returning for the positive aspects of the salon.

    Message Krystal $145.00 on my birthday for this subpar…read moreexperience! They placed me in the first room and I was interrupted by at least 3 loud conversations. I asked for a Swedish massage with medium pressure. The gentleman was putting his elbow and arms on my left arm and back area so hard that I had to say stop!! He had to go and get someone to tell him what to do, bc he didn't speak English. I asked for tea tree oil with my hot stones and instead I smell like medicine. Told the front desk all of this before paying and all he said was next time we will put you in the back!!!! All $125.00 plus $20.00 tip ( I only tipped because we all have to eat). The company is responsible for my bad experience and my shoulder still hurting, not the non English speaking employee.

    I have been so lax about my review, I'm ashamed to tell you I've gone there three times already! I…read moreguess that tells you how good it is. I didn't really understand the admonition on the phone when I set my first appointment, to "pay with cash if you can". I was a bit concerned that it might be a shady business ;) It most definitely is not! You get a punch card if you pay in cash, and get a free massage after 10. Anyway, it's very clean and restfully decorated. Check in was easy, using their tablet. They ask that you circle areas of attention, and this is where I kind of went wrong the first time. I circled something and tried to make the "No" sign on it, but they didn't understand. Let me explain: except for the young man who staffs the front desk, English seems limited at least for the two masseuses I've had. So I had a bit of a time explaining my exceptionally tender Achilles tendon that can't be touched. On my third visit, I took a photo from a website, on which I drew the "NO" symbol around the area. I was a little afraid to offend someone but they actually seemed to appreciate it. All three massages were out of this world for excellence. I tried the hot oil and stones for the second; it was nice but I won't have it every time. I'm going once a month to treat myself, and an hour at $75 is such a good price for how great I feel afterwards. I always tip well, too - and then the total hits my budgeted limit. The oil and stones are only $15 more, so I plan to do that every 3rd time or so. Splurge! I had two with Ivy and asked for her but she was on vacation for my third. I believe that masseuse was named Gloria. She was also very, very good.
